I have my Galaxy S5 rooted and a custom rom(Rico's rom or something like that) installed, but my friend with the same phone gets better battery life and she is on stock.
So I was curious, can I restore the stock rom and just install titanium backup as root and unlock the hotspot? Instead of installing superuser and all of the other stuff?
If so how would I go about doing that after restoring it back to stock with ODIN?
Thanks for your help!
I think no. But do your friend gives the same use as you to the phone? That must be the first question.

Titanium backup will not work without supersu/superuser. You can restore stock rom and just root only using those two apps if you'd like. But as the post asks above, are you using the phone in the same way? Same installed apps? Same coverage area? All those factors play a role in battery drain.

Hi everyone, last night I rooted my Charge with Odin. Flashed EE4 debloated, CWM, voodoo lag fix, SD card patch. Took 5 minutes, not a problem in the world. I just forgot to make a back up of the stock rom before flashing. How do I go about getting back to stock and making a back up, then reflashing it all?

How do I read a sticky forum post?

There is no point in backing up if you are talking about using CWM. The backup and restore function do not work correctly yet which is why Imnuts removed it from his most current build of CWM.
FYI it is not that backup won't work but when you restore it will brick the device.
Ok. Can i use another method besides CWM?

I want to flash a rom on my epic 4g. Does that wipe my paid applications? If it does then is there a way to back them up and restore them on the new rom?
You can use titanium backup to backup and restore them if you are rooted. Otherwise you can always re -download them from the market for free.

Thanks appreciate it
Tit backup is the best, but if u use custom rom, try to avoid intall busybox, coz that will screw everything...

If you are rooted, I definitely recommed TiBu and also paying for the premium version. It makes batch restoring of all apps quick and easy IMO
Hi, I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 running stock JB 4.1.1 at the moment but I want to root it...again. I did it once before and thought I was going to have to send it in for other reasons but I didn't and now I am on the basic, stock firmware. My question today is, can I effectively root and then if needed, unroot and return to stock firmware WITHOUT losing all of my apps and settings. I know making backups is an option, and I do constantly backup my phone, but isn't there a way out there to unroot WITHOUT losing all of our data, apps, settings, etc.? Thank you for any response and help.

I don't believe so, I think in order for either the rooting or un rooting process, the phone will be wiped either way. Google services of course will save your app download history and some of your settings but will be wiped until you log into Google account. Hope this helps.
If u have supersu as the root application in the settings is a full unroot option. Click on that and reboot your phone and you are now uprooted without wiping any data. If u have superuser app then I don't know if that is there or not. I'm not familiar with superuser.

Can I uninstall Superuser to install Supersu so I can permanently unroot without loosing data?
Yes I'm sure you could. Just make sure that the superuser is completely gone from the /system partition before u uproot with supersu.

Hello,
I just got the htc one s. It currently have 4.1.1 sw. I wanted to stay with the stock Rom, but remove all the bloatware. I rooted the phone and installed titanium backup. I was able to removed all the unwanted apps, but everyone I restart the phone, all the apps come back. Anyone know why and how to fix?

ROM Cleaner is great at this. easy and quick.

Took a while to find all the naming for the apps I wanted to remove using RomCleaner, but was able to get rid of them now. Thanks
I came here to ask a similar question. I just got a new One S black and its up to date. Unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed CWM recovery.
I can run rooted apps fine, but I cant install busybox and ota rootkeeper isnt protecting my root when I ask it. Titanium backup shows its removing apps when I delete them, but when I reboot, theyre back again. Did I do something wrong when rooting, or is this just how the stock rom is?

Install busybox flashable zip through recovery.
To remove stock apps, use RomCleaner as mentioned by @tivofool in the above posts.
There's an app that won't work for me on a rooted phone so i tried to disable root in SU but it still doesnt work. My question is, if I full unroot from SU, will it delete anything? Can I just reroot - unroot - reroot - etc... from nexus toolkit without having issue?
I also have xposed installed with gravity and gel. if I unroot, will the changes I've made stick without root?
The only time I actually need root is when i make backups from titanium. Dont flash much and I have xposed setup where I like it so going unroot isnt a big deal. I just want to make sure unrooting and rerooting won't effect my phones setup/files.

You're good, rooting and unrooting won't hurt anything...

Reboot?

no idea what it could be. tried it on another phone. complete reset with only twrp on stock rom and it doesnt work. only thing it could be is that is recognizes that its unlocked phone, twrp or a modified stock rom. #%($&^(
